Well after induction, failed vaginal delivery baby Zak was delivered via Emergency CS. He is doing fine I'm so in love with him!!

MissyJones80s · 21/12/2017 03:00

@ziggzagg congratulations StarBearFlowers

Flippertyjibbetty · 21/12/2017 03:06

Hello, can I join the waiting room?!

I'm 38w today. Spd means I've limited mobility.

Felt a different kind of back pain today (hard to tell with the constant tailbone/pelvic pain). Bit of loose tummy which I thought might be things clearing out but I do also have a cold atm!

Having a girl, EDD 4 Jan. Would like her to wait until 1 Jan at least to make an appearance...although next few days are going to be blinking tough as can't move!!

Congrats to those who have had their lovely babies!!

FirsttimemumJan18 · 21/12/2017 04:14

Can i join the list too?

I’m currently 36.6 Weeks and Original EDD was 12th Jan but I’m going in on 5th Jan @ 39 weeks for an induction to finally meet my little girl!

I’ve enjoyed most of my pregnancy, however, from 32 weeks I suddenly started struggling with the 3rd trimester especially with lovely creaking hips & pelvis at bedtime! due to SPD or PGP - Pelvic Girdle Pain as its now referred to.

I don’t tend to sleep well and am awake any time from 1:30am - 5.30am which is when you’ll see my posts! Currently suffering with a viral infection so lots of coughing and mucus (Sorry TMI!) I either need putting down or need to get a grip...

Just needed to vent...sorry Blush

Waitingonasmile · 21/12/2017 05:26

Hello to new joiners.

Congratulations @Bringmethechips and @ziggzagg ! Hope you are both well. Smile

Insomnia Angry

Maybebaby2 · 21/12/2017 06:33

Congratulations @ziggzagg Welcome to the world baby Zac! Sounds like you went through it but so worth it now you have your baby boy to cuddle. Hope you are feeling well? xx

Welcome @Flippertyjibbetty and @FirsttimemumJan18 😀

37 weeks today and the last day of work for me. Half day finishing at 1pm, can not wait to be done!!

MummyM33 · 21/12/2017 07:14

Congratulations @ziggzagg! Sounds like it was a tough delivery but well done for getting there in the end. So pleased for you!

FirsttimemumJan18 · 21/12/2017 09:06

It’s such a relief once you are on Maternity Leave...time to rest and or nest now x

Flippertyjibbetty · 21/12/2017 09:28

Firsttimemum- I feel your pain! I was looking fwd to starting leave to be able to tidy my flat (we had some works done, not by choice and are in complete upheaval) and nesting and instead...creak creak hips when I try to move and sneeze sneeze snottiness, oh I have to lie down again!

Hope you feel better soon. Also have the early morning insomnia...lots of fluids and tea for us all!!!

Waitingonasmile · 21/12/2017 10:30

Happy last day @Maybebaby2

I have had horrendous sickness and diarrhoea all morning Sad. Stupid winter bugs.

Flippertyjibbetty · 21/12/2017 10:45

Waiting- that sounds really rough! Hope you feel better soon...horrid being so close and feeling rubbish! X

WLMcI · 21/12/2017 11:49

Congratulations to @Bringmethechips and @ziggzagg!!! So special to have your bundles of joy!

I've been frantically busy (so has DH) getting our house to the stage where we can live in it, but finally it is at that point and what can be cleaned is cleaned, and the freezer is full of home-cooked meals for DH to prepare for me. Good thing too, as I am actually scheduled for a C-section on the 28th! Baby has remained stubbornly breech, despite an attempted ECV and me trying several tricks to get it to turn. The obstetrician said she would be "astonished" if the baby turned on its own at this stage due to its position (bum wedged so firmly into my pelvis that she couldn't lift it out at the ECV), so it's likely the C-section will go ahead as planned (it's on my actual due date, too!) A C-section was the last thing I wanted, mostly due to a) my fear of all surgery and b) the long recovery time in which I'm told I will be helplessly stuck upstairs for a week, unable to lift anything for ages, unable to drive for at least a month, etc. But as it's clearly the only option at this point, I'm trying to see it as a positive that at least my baby won't be in danger during delivery, as it would have been in the days before all this was handled so safely. And since it's planned, as long as baby holds fire until the 28th it will be something we have prepared for, rather than an emergency that causes any panic.

So we'll be meeting our mystery baby no later than a week from today! Please keep your fingers crossed for us both! X

hanna87 · 21/12/2017 12:46

Congratulations to @ziggzagg and @Bringmethechips 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Enjoy your lil bundles of joy!

Fingers crossed for you next week @WLMcI
..hope you have a restful Christmas! You will have a busy one next year for sure with baby's birthday being so close to Xmas n New Years too!

Welcome to @Flippertyjibbetty and @FirsttimemumJan18 !!
First time mum- sharing your pain...have had the same issues since about 22 weeks and glad that am at home resting! We live in a bungalow so at least theres no stairs to climb! My nose has been pretty blocked all the way through and a cold for the past few weeks which doesn't seem to clear...lots of steam inhaling to relieve it all as the constantly blocked sinus keeps on creating headaches.. trying to minimise the paracetamol now so can take some in early labour ...

Enjoy @Maybebaby2 ! I was dreadfully emotional by the time i got to walking out of the doors and in floods of tears... its a huge relief to be away from walk, but it's that moment of realisation that this is all really happening and life as you know it is not going to be the same Bear

hanna87 · 21/12/2017 12:47

@Waitingonasmile could this be early labour?!?! Or am I encouraging symptom spotting ShockWinkGrin

Waitingonasmile · 21/12/2017 14:06

@hanna87 I feel like this is the furthest away from labour I've ever been Grin. Not a single twinge or tightening!!! I never ever catch stomach bugs usually but clearly the baby has weakened my immune symptom.

EekThreek · 21/12/2017 15:06

Congratulations @ziggzagg , and welcome baby Zak!

katmarie · 21/12/2017 16:19

Congrats @ziggzagg!

I saw the midwife today who basically said baby could come at any time now, I'm 37 weeks on Wednesday, and frankly since the baby is on track to be about 8.5lb, she said the earlier it comes the better lol.

So now it's all feeling very real. Anyone else have moments of sheer panic at what's to come?!

Owl1011 · 21/12/2017 18:39

Congratulations @ziggzagg and @Bringmethechips on your new arrivals! Exciting that the thread will soon start filling up with baby announcements!

One more day in work then 4pm tomorrow I'm officially done until next November! Baby still a few weeks away yet but hoping to have a nice relaxing Christmas and some time to do last minute bits and bobs, coffees and lunches etc with friends also on mat leave Grin

reetgood · 21/12/2017 20:03

Hmmmm. Bang on 38 weeks today and I’ve just got this suspicion I’m getting closer to labour. First timer so not sure. Baby does not feel like he’s engaged yet. Hadn’t a couple of weeks ago. Still feels like he’s right up under my ribs! Still getting heartburn. Lots of movement this eve, having had anterior placenta it’s only in past couple of weeks it’s been really noticeable from the outside :) . Going to the loo more often. Felt absolutely knackered today. Currently typing this kneeling on floor with bum in the air as that feels most comfortable. No show, no waters, had Braxton Hicks earlier on but nothing that feels similar. Dull achy back a day or so ago....

I would really like baby to stay put for a few more days. I want to do Christmas? :D Do you reckon I’ve got a chance and this is just late pregnancy? I’ve had a very easy pregnancy so far, so this could just be me experiencing some late onset symptoms.

FirsttimemumJan18 · 22/12/2017 03:29

Apparently my little girl is scheduled to be approx 9lbs, thank goodness I’m getting induced @ 39 Weeks, currently 37 Weeks exactly...OMG I can’t believe she will be here in 2 weeks time!

FirsttimemumJan18 · 22/12/2017 04:26

hello fellow insomniacs!

How do I mention a fellow insomniac in a post/reply? No good at this malarkey Xmas Blush

Waitingonasmile · 22/12/2017 07:18

You put an @ symbol and their username @FirsttimemumJan18 .

Hooray for maternity leave starting @Owl1011 !!! I don't know how people are still managing to work I'm only 37+3 and getting uncomfortable.

@katmarie I've never laboured (emcs last time) so I do panic about what to do if that happens. I'm also panicking about anything happening before my husband gets back on 4th Jan. no babies allowed until then!!

@reetgood All sounds pretty normal third trimester to me, but who knows, maybe baby will come early.

I'm very jealous of anyone who can relax these last few weeks. As lovely as 2 year olds can be I would love to spend a day binging on Netflix in peace. Although I should be grateful I only have one I suppose and not more to look after. Grin

Waitingonasmile · 22/12/2017 09:15

So sick again this morning Sad. Just can't stop!!!

reetgood · 22/12/2017 09:23

@waitingonasmile yes it could well be - I’ve lucked out this pregnancy with not really that much in terms of symptoms. I actually started getting concerned about how much he was moving yesterday! Having had anterior placenta I haven’t really had the full kicks impact. And oh my days I thought I would bruise from it. There are probably several women on this thread shaking their heads at me, having lived with this the entirety of third trimester. I have to admit I called maternity assessment because it was so out of ordinary, plus feeling a bit weird all day. They were very nice but were pretty much that unless I was experiencing increased movements for hours, it was more decreased movement that concerned them. And of course, having decided to ring them after an hour of him sticking some part of himself in my ribs, he calmed right down once I’d spoken to them. Of course.

Am feeling the opportunity of maternity leave with first child is a rare occasion, I am going to cherish the Netflix ;)

Flippertyjibbetty · 22/12/2017 09:31

@waitingonasmile you poor thing!

I have been in bed for 5 days...hoping we can make the drive down today to family for xmas...worst day for doing it!

Armpit lumps back, haven't seen those since about week 27?!

Pregnancy is soooo weird!!!!

Thank god for Netflix! Although it's not working on my TC ATM so I've just been watching one born every minute on loop like I'm cramming for some kind of exam!
